ER = KR [ Xp - Xf ]
Kr = Rittingers Constant
Xf = initial size of the particle
Xp = final size of the particle
Energy input ,ER , is inversely proposional to
the decrease in particle size

EK = KK log [ Xp ]
Kk = Kicks Constant
Xf = original avg. particle size in unit volume
Xp = final size in unit volume
Energy input is proportional to particle volume reduction

Energy Efficiency
c = Ei / EP
Ei = theoretical energy input
EP = actual energy input
Energy efficiency is relation between theoritical energy input
and actual process input energy
